Zawadowicz Falls to Merzhvinskii

Level 10 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With almost 20,000 in the middle, Pawel Zawadowicz and Aleksandr Merzhvinskii were heads-up in the blinds.

The flop came {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{9-Clubs}, Zawadowicz check-called the 6,500 continuation-bet of Merzhvinskii.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}, Zawadowicz checked again and now Merzhvinskii bet 16,500. Zawadowicz called to see the {8-Spades} complete the board on the river. Zawadowicz checked for the last time. Merzhvinskii looked over to see how much Zawadowicz had behind, took some time, and then put Zawadowicz all-in. Zawadowicz called for the 66,500 he had behind.

Merzhvinskii tabled {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for quads and Zawadowicz quickly flicked his cards towards the muck. Merzhvinskii pointed at the cards for the dealer to expose them. The dealer obliged and showed Zawadowicz had {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for two pair.

Change of Plans

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The tournament organization has just announced that a change has been applied to the structure for today and the two other starting days. Instead of playing down to 15% of the field, the day will now end when there's 20% of the field left.

Elezra Shoves on Loeser and Peter

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Manig Loeser just walked in and got seated on the same table as Jaroslav Peter, Fabian Gumz, and Eli Elezra. He raised to 10,000 from the hijack and was called by Peter in the cutoff. Action folded to Elezra in the big blind who three-bet to 24,000 and both Loeser and Peter called.

The flop came {6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, Elezra shoved, Loeser folded, and Peter asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Elezra had 196,500 behind. Peter was going through the options in his head and then opted to fold.
